Do I Need a Mobile Home Specific Bath Tub?

Oh...No! There is a crack in my bath tub!  Or maybe you're in need of an upgrade, many times the older plastic bath tubs yellow over time or the style just isn't working anymore.  Maybe accessability is a issue, stepping into a 5" shower pan would be much easier than getting into the existing bathtub.  All great reasons to replace your old bathtub set. 

The question is do I Need a Mobile Home Specific Bathtub?  The answer is almost always, YES!  

The main reason is the residential size bath sets that you will find in your traditional hardware store simply will not fit.  Your typical residential size bathtub is going to be 60" long and most mobile home or manufactured house bathtubs will be 54" long. Which is a huge difference when you go to install a replacement. During this remodel you would have to make changes to the plumbing, flooring, walls and more, which often turns this into a more complicated and more expensive project. 

The good news is that there are great options to fit back into the space that you have.  Easy replacment, most can DIY these kits and you will have excellent quailty and modern looking finished product.
